656 Loader works - almost (pics)

Hey guys,

Hope you had a good Christmas. You'll have to look what I bought myself - found a used Westendorf WL30 for under a $1000. My Uncle helped me install it - it works well .... except the lift arm operation.

We are trying to set up the lift arms on the outboard remote so that pulling the lever back raises the arms and pushing forward drops (seems logical for float as well.) After getting the Deere adaptors on, we tried it that way.

It lifted fine, and pushing the lever ahead to drop - it stayed in that position. We had to get another loader (yeah, a JD 3020) to ease the tension on the hoses to pull them off.

Now the interesting part - switching the hoses in the ports allows the loader to work - backwards, but it does raise and lower. It seems wierd to push forward to raise - and then a little further to float (where it drops).

Fluid and filter were changed recently - I did notice a little milky-white in the fluid when detaching the hose on the lower right-hand port.

Any advice?
